Resipod Resistivity Meter

Resipod Resistivity Meter

Resipod is a fully integrated 4-point Wenner probe, designed to measure the electrical resistivity of concrete in a completely non-destructive test. It is the most accurate instrument available, extremely fast and stable and packaged in a robust, waterproof housing designed to operate in a demanding site environment. The Resipod is the successor of the classic CNS Farnell Resistivity Meter.

Surface resistivity measurement provides extremely useful information about the state of a concrete structure. Not only has it been proven to be directly linked to the likelihood of corrosion and the corrosion rate, recent studies have shown that there is a direct correlation between resistivity and chloride diffusion rate and even to determination of early compressive strength. This makes it one of the most versatile NDT methods for concrete.

Features

  • Fully integrated surface resistivity instrument
  • Highest resolution available for a surface resistivity instrument
  • Available with 1.5" (compliant with the AASHTO Provisional Standard TP 95 on Surface Resistivity) or 50 mm probe spacing
  • Current flow indication and poor contact indication
  • Hold, save and delete function, with onboard memory
  • USB connection and dedicated PC software
  • Designed to float (waterproof)
  • Allows replacement of standard tips with accessories

Applications

  • Estimation of the likelihood of corrosion
  • Indication of corrosion rate
  • Correlation to chloride permeability
  • On site assessment of curing efficiency
  • Determination of zonal requirements for cathodic protection systems
  • Identification of wet and dry areas in a concrete structure
  • Indication of variations in the water/ cement ratios within a concrete structure
  • Identification of areas within a structure most susceptible to chloride penetration
  • Correlation to early compressive strength
  • Correlation to water permeability of rock

Standardization

Resipod complies with the AASHTO Provisional Standard TP 95 on Surface Resistivity.

Resipod Link Software

The Windows based software ResipodLink, developed by Proceq, allows the user to view and manipulate the data on a connected PC. It also allows a variable contact spacing to be set.
